About Me

Having a long-term love affair with Detroit techno and Chicago house while enjoying a healthy music scene in Glasgow helped us develop a varied style rooted in the original techno blueprint but delivered in an up to date form. We never stray too far from our beloved analogue and digital keyboards and hardware, both vintage and new, choosing to feed them into a digital production environment. Our sound is carefully crafted and thoughtfully produced, the evidence of which can (hopefully) be heard in our first collection of tracks contained in the “Shift” e.p. on 7th Sign. We have been locked in the studio since this release and have emerged stronger, we hope. Our next group of tracks will surface later in 2007. Some of our stuff can be heard here. Please keep listening! Thank you. G&R

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/16/2007
Band Website: seventhsignrecordings.com
Band Members: Graham Wilson & Ross McMillan.As well as producing music, Graham has DJed in and around Glasgow for a few years now, playing house and techno in clubs like the Sub Club, where he has held two residencies. He has also played at festivals like T in the Park and Gig on the Green. He has played alongside DJ Bone, Joey Beltram, Blake Baxter, Domenic Cappello, Harri, Stefan Robbers, Chris Duckenfield, Estroe, the Moderator, Ivan Smagghe, Carl Finlow, Yoda, Ollie Teeba, Twitch, DJ T-1000, Deetron, Brett Johnson and Gene Farris among others. Graham also owns and runs Seventh Sign Recordings in partnership with Domenic Cappello.Ross approached Seventh Sign with his composition “Orchid” (Solab remaster on this page) and took up partnership with Graham in early 2005 to form Solab. Ross cut his teeth alongside old Glasgow studio hand Vince Watson, taking his advice and using it to help his ability and technique grow. A canny ability to extract impressive compositions from limited resources (the original version of “Orchid” was created on one single sound module) showed Ross' obvious musical ability. Solab are a production unit concentrating on studio output and live performance.
